WEARING-LINER FOR CAR-TRUCKS.

SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 609,178, dated August16, 1898. Application filed February 13, 1894. Renewed June 29,1898.Serial No. 684,734. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, BERNAL BAGSHAWE, of Headingly, Leeds, York county,England, have invented a new and useful Improvement in WVearingLinersfor Oar-Trucks, of which the following is a full, true, and exactdescription, reference being bad to the accompanying drawings.

4 This invention relates to an improvement in car-trucks made of pressedsteel in which the journal-boxes slide or movevertically in pedestalsattached within suitable openings in the truck-frames.

My invention consists in providing the pedestals with wearing plates orliners to receive the contact-surfaces of the j ournal-boXes,saidwearing-plates fitted all around the axle-box opening.

It further consists in providing a pedestal of improved construction.

My invention will be readily understood from the accompanying drawings,in which Figure 1 represents a lateral elevation of one end of the sideframe of a truck; Fig. 2, a sectional plan view through Fig. 1 on line 22 in the direction of the arrow. Fig. 3 is a plan view of theconnecting-strap. Fig. 4 is a section of the strap, taken at the line 33, Fig. 1. Figs. 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,10, and 11 are sectional plan views ofmodifications, taken as through a line at 4, Fig. 1.

A indicates one end of the side plate of a car-truck, with an opening inwhich a pedestal B is secured by rivets H or other suitable means. Thepedestal is made of T iron or steel in one piece. It may be made of twoangled parts, as shown in Fig. 10, in which case the frame A is rivetedbetween the two The pedestal when made integral may have a singleprojecting flange for attachment to the frame A, or it may be providedwith two such flanges, as shown in Fig. 11, between which the frame edgeis secured. The inner surface of the pedestal maybe provided withrecesses or grooves, as shown in Figs. 2 and 8, with beveled edges, asshown in Figs. 9 and 11, orit may be smooth, with square corners.

The journal-boxisadapted to slide Within the pedestal, and in order toprevent the wearing which would occur when the sides of the cast journalarerough and the pedestal c011- structed of soft material I provide awearing plate or liner 0, which conforms to the inner surface of thepedestal, to which it is removably attached. The outer surface of thiswearing-liner is made to engage the pedestal by means of ribs, beveledflanges, or straight flanges f, according to the contour of the innersurface of the pedestal employed.

The lower ends of the wearing-plate and pedestal are provided with shortlateral registering slots, within which'are secured by bolts G orotherwise the ends of the strap or bar D, 'which extends across theopening of the pedestal and keeps the wearing-liner in place by engagingthe slots formed therein. The bar D is provided with shoulders d, whichbear against the wearing-liner and hold it in place against the sides ofthe pedestal. It will thus be seen that when the wearing-liners becomeworn they may be easily removed and new ones substituted.

The wearing-liner maybe made in one piece or in several sections. In theforms illustrated in Figs. 9 and 11, in which the wearing-liners areconnected to the pedestals by a dovetail joint, it is obvious that theside sections, extending to points. X X, Fig. 1, must be made separatefrom the top portion, as only the side sections could be adjusted inplace by such a connection- The top section may be fitted to thepedestal by any of the forms of attachment shown and will of course beheld in place by the side sections. This part of my improvement consistsin the application of a detachable wearing-liner extending all aroundthe axle-box opening-to the pedestal of all truclnframes in which ajournalbox slides',whether such pedestals are made of one continuousstrip or in two strips attached to opposite sides of thepedestal-opening in the side frame of the truck.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,is-- g 1. In a truck-frame, a wearing-liner fitting all around theaxle-box opening, and provided with one or more flanges engaging thetruck frame, substantially as specified.

2. In a truck-frame, the combination of aname to this specification inthe presence of pedestal composed of two angle-strips and a twosubscribing Witnesses.
